http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012/09/19-weeks.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, September 10, 2012. Had an appointment with my OB last Thursday and all went well. My weight is holding steady at 7 lbs total gained, my blood pressure was normal at 110/60, there was no sugar or protein in my urine and got to listen to Baby T's heartbeat again which was 145 bpm. My OB is pleased with my progress thus far and am crossing my fingers the remainder of my pregnancy stays this way. Milestones: Baby T's arms,...

http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012/09/20-weeks-half-baked.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, September 17, 2012. 20 weeks - "Half-Baked". Wow - hard to believe I have made it to the half-way point. I never thought I would ever get to this point in this pregnancy and am just so very thankful! Hoping the next 20 weeks are just as uneventful as the first 20 weeks has been! 20 weeks (baby is 6 1/2 inches long from head to rump and the length of a banana). Weight gain/loss: 3 lbs (10 lbs total gained). Milestones: B...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Friday, June 29, 2012. This will be a quick update as I am leaving for South Dakota in about 15 minutes but didn't want to leave y'all hanging :). This morning's US showed Baby T measuring a day ahead of schedule at 8w5d with a heartbeat of 175 bpm! We saw a little tiny head, little arm/leg buds and the umbilical cord. The tech said everything is looking great thus far! Friday, June 22, 2012. Oh and I CRAVE carbs! While the nur...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying: March 2012
http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Saturday, March 17, 2012. And so the truth comes out. I thought we have both been on the same page and had the same goal but last night I realized just how wrong I was. I can't help but feel that this was just my dream and not his. I am so frustrated and sad. I'm just not sure how to process all of this. I feel like I am grieving for the loss of a child that I never had. After yesterday, I can honestly see how IF can tear apart...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, August 27, 2012. 17 weeks (baby is 5 inches long and the size of a turnip). Symptoms: not too many that are bothersome. The heartburn is better, the nausea is still gone and I still love to take my afternoon naps! Weight gain/loss: 1 lb for a total of 7 lbs gained - ugh, creeping up the scale! Sleep: no problems falling asleep but still struggle to fall back asleep after the 4am bathroom call. Monday, August 20, 2012.

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, August 13, 2012. 15 weeks (baby is 4 inches long and the size of an apple). Symptoms: Feeling pretty good. Experiencing more frequent heartburn but that is really it as far as symptoms go. Weight gain/loss: 0 lbs (still a total of 5 lbs gained). Food cravings/aversions: not really "craving" anything. Still steering clear from coffee and Mexican food and still have a weakness for potatoes - especially mashed! What I'm lo...

http://if-journey.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Monday, July 30, 2012. This is my last week in the 1st trimester - which I find hard to believe that I have even gotten to this point! These past couple of months have been so surreal and sometimes I feel like this isn't really happening to us. I'm hoping this feeling of being pregnant will start sinking in soon and I can get to a point where I can relax a bit. Still just taking it one day at a time. Can't feel any yet. I actua...

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Sunday, April 8, 2012. Which I have been wanted to do for months. Check it out for some awesome recipes from HT's kitchen and follow along as I update it weekly. Keeping busy has been exactly what I needed and mentally I am doing much better. I saw this quote on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and it touched me. Touched me so much I printed it out and made it a magnet to put on my fridge so I see it everyday. The first one has ...

She also gave me the "go-ahead" to resume "intimate relations" with the hubby so I know he will be one happy camper when hears this :). So, all in all things are going really well and I have no complaints.

Hoping, Wishing, Praying. The rantings of an infertile, sassy, domestic diva. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Today would have been my due date for FET #2 :(. It is the last mental reminder and mark on the calendar that I have of our journey these past 2 years and to say I am glad it is here is a relief. It is almost like the slate has now been wiped clean and I can put all of this behind me. I can now move forward with the life that has been chosen for us. Other than that, I am doing well with the cards that hav...
